Do you guys think it's worth paying off an auto loan? I have a 10k, 3 year loan with about 4k balance remaining. Interest is about 4%. I want to get rid of the loan but the total interest I pay over the life of the whole loan is only like $700.

Should I just keep paying the minimum on it? I was debating whether to sell some of my stock and pay for it bc stock prices are so high and frothy and im not sure this is going to last forever.

Any tax accountants/attorneys in here? What would happen to the 401k of a foreign worker if they cannot longer maintain an immigration status and have to go back home? What about a ROTH 401k?

Anyone got the salary credited.

This week in homebuying horror stories: offered $60k (10%) over asking on a house. Got beat by a last minute all-cash offer from an out of state buyer who was buying sight-unseen.

This is the worst.

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

What is the value of / case for hiring a wealth manager with management fees (say 1% of holdings) as opposed to investing directly in ETFs/index funds yourself (through any of the brokers like Fidelity, Vanguard, etc.)?

For couples who are not married yet - Do you guys talk about net worth, income, or anything even finance related? I know my SO earns more given his current industry, but thinks it’s rude to talk about those things. But I’m wondering… isn’t it normal for couples who live together or are married share those info? For example - How am I going to know what to pay for our child’s education in the future etc?

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.

Anyone received call from hr for meet and greet at Barclays pune on 1st October ?

I always thought mid life crisis was when you get to mid life and realize you are never going to be all you thought you would be.

I turned out better than I imagined on all dimensions, and I’ve discovered a different kind of midlife crisis. The “ok, so now what?” Crisis.

Tell me someone else has this, and what do you do about it?

Just want to say that I've learned a lot in this bowl! Really grateful for people posting questions, do's and don'ts and for the community responding!

What are some part time opportunities for CPAs? I enjoy the field as a whole but am already burnt out after just 1 year and want to use my CPA in a more sustainable way. I’d be interested in either working less than 40 hrs a week or working only part of the year, so I have time to pursue other interests/have a “fun” job.

Have CPA Firms ever been involved with election audits?

As an A3, I finally understand why people work so late in busy season. It’s because you don’t get any work done until 6 pm, when the pings and meeting finally slow down. I can’t work on something for more than 10 minutes without something else popping up.

What did the first 10 years of your career look like? How many jumps did you make? Where did you work? Audit or tax? PA, government, industry? Pay increases? City-size/CoL? Would love to get enough responses to see any trends related to how long you stayed at your first firm.

Thoughts on big 4 boomerangs?

I am an acting senior and am training 3 new hires. They are not doing well, so I often re-do their works even after I give them 2 pages step by step instruction. The problem is my manager and director don't see the problems (because those problems happen behind the scene) and think all the A1s are performing exceptionally well. The A1s and I are all associates, so I don't even have a chance to give them an official feedback (snapshot at pwc). How to address this issue to my manager and director?

For firms that give an annual performance bonus - what is considered a good percent to receive? I am thinking mine was a little low but I could be wrong
